I really am sorry for passing on the link. The site startled me, and caused
me to laugh at my own reaction. In that context, I thought classed as
subversive art, and I posted it hoping to start a discussion as well as make
people laugh. If I had taken the time to think for a few minutes instead of
passing it as soon as it was sent to me, I would have realised that other
people might be affected more deeply. In particular, I apologise to Alison.
I am appalled to think she was upset so badly, and can only say that I have
learned a lesson from this.
Sincerest apologies
